Lateral Brow-Eyelid Contour After Traditional Blepharoplasty Versus Blepharoplasty With Brassiere Sutures Using Three-Dimensional Imaging.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the lateral brow-eyelid contour following traditional blepharoplasty versus blepharoplasty with brassiere sutures using 3D imaging.

Methods: This prospective, randomized, comparative, parallel-group trial involved 56 female patients with dermatochalasis. Patients with an odd number of letters in their first names underwent traditional upper blepharoplasty (group A), while the rest underwent blepharoplasty with orbicularis oculi muscle fixation (group B).

Changes in corneal sensitivity following cross-linking for progressive early-stage keratoconus.

Purpose: To evaluate changes in corneal sensitivity following corneal cross-linking (CXL) in patients with progressive earlier stage keratoconus.

Methods: Thirty-eight eyes of 19 patients (11 women, 8 men) were included in a prospective, nonrandomized clinical study. The mean patient age was 22 years (range, 18-26 years).

Efficacy and safety of subconjunctival bevacizumab for recurrent pterygium.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcome(s) and complication(s) of subconjunctival bevacizumab treatment in patients with recurrent pterygium.

Methods: This prospective case series included patients who had undergone pterygium surgery and were diagnosed with recurrent pterygium. All patients received one subconjunctival injection of 0.

Corneal thickness changes during corneal collagen cross-linking with UV-A irradiation and hypo-osmolar riboflavin in thin corneas.

Purpose: To evaluate the thinnest corneal thickness changes during and after corneal collagen cross-linking treatment with ultraviolet-A irradiation, using hypo-osmolar riboflavin solution in thin corneas.

Methods: Eighteen eyes of 18 patients were included in this study. After epithelium removal, iso-osmolar 0.

Ten-year results of phototherapeutic keratectomy on recurrent corneal erosions.

Purpose: To determine the ten-year visual results and outcomes of excimer laser phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) for recurrent corneal erosions.

Methods: Twenty-six eyes of 23 patients with recurrent corneal erosions were treated by PTK from 1996 to 2000 at the Goiania Eye Institute, Brazil. All eyes had failed to respond to conventional therapy.

Prophylactic mitomycin C to inhibit corneal haze after photorefractive keratectomy for residual myopia following radial keratotomy.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of mitomycin C (MMC) 0.02% in inhibiting haze formation after excimer laser photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for residual myopia following radial keratotomy (RK).

Methods: A prospective, nonrandomized, noncomparative interventional case series was conducted of 22 eyes (14 patients) with residual myopia after RK performed at a single institution.

The effect of hinge position and depth plate on the rate of recovery of corneal sensation following LASIK.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare the effect of hinge position and flap thickness on recovery rate of corneal sensation after (LASIK).

Design: Prospective, randomized clinical study.

Methods: Forty eyes of 40 patients underwent LASIK to correct myopia ranging from -1.

Effect of myopic LASIK on human corneal sensitivity.

Objective: To evaluate the changes in corneal sensitivity after LASIK for the correction of different degrees of myopia.

Design: Prospective, nonrandomized, comparative self-controlled trial.

Participants: One hundred two myopic eyes of 58 patients were included in this study.

Laser in situ keratomileusis in children 8 to 15 years old.

Purpose: To determine the safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct high myopia or high myopic astigmatism in patients with high anisometropia in whom conventional treatments have failed.

Methods: Nine eyes of nine patients, three boys and six girls with high anisometropia (>3.50 D), were included in this study.

Laser in situ keratomileusis after penetrating keratoplasty.

Purpose: To determine the safety, efficacy, predictability, and stability of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) to correct myopia and myopic astigmatism in eyes with prior penetrating keratoplasty.

Methods: Eight eyes of 8 patients with penetrating keratoplasty had significant postoperative refractive error. Each eye received LASIK 1 year or more after penetrating keratoplasty.
